i KNOW
like man why can't he say, sry, thank you, pls
WHERE MANNER???
I agree generally but… even if he did apologize, covering everything he did… if I were Dan that would be even more reason not to go. First, it won’t change the past and the trauma. Second, it’ll reaffirm that JJK was hideously awful and bring up all those painful memories so they’re out in the open, which could make Dan drink to forget again. Third, it would frame the return with JJK as a plea for Dan to return to his former position. Despite what JJK says—it would then be obvious that JJK doesn’t want to let Dan go and would pose an opportunity for JJK to change his mind or find a new way to shackle Dan.
Saying sorry at this point would do more harm than good for Dan. Plus I don’t think it could get past JJK’s lips. It’s too much for a simple sorry. I do wish the way he addresses Dan would be gentler but… it’s JJK. I think that will come with time. Anyway, Jaekyung has to prove himself. After changing his ways significantly and then letting Dan choose his path freely, he can apologize and have it land properly.
Bruh just start with an apology first. Forget the new deal or helping him fix his sleepwalking issue. APOLOGIZE FIRST PLS. You know you fucked up, so at least address the shit you did and tell him you’re sorry. Everything else can come later.
That aside, I’m glad JK seems willing to entertain the thought of letting Dan go after their debts are repaid. They probably need a break from each other. BUT YES APOLOGIZE FIRST THEN GO.
